THE SECRET TO MORE SCULPTED ARMS

Essential oil

Rosemary oil can really help.Researchers say that the herb boosts circulation,which will make your arms look smoother and firmer.Add four drops of the essential ol to an ounce of olive oil and rub it well into you skin after body brushing and exfoliating.

Easy exercise

Tricep dips take about 5 mins to do and you can easily work at them while your at home watching t.v.Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair,wrapping your hands around the front of the seat and with your bum on the edge of it.Keep your heels on the floor.Then lift and lower your body8-10 times,keeping the movement slow and controlled.

Swimsuit shopping

Your choice of top or swinsuit can make your arms look better or worse.Thinner straos are slimming(though ultra-thin spaghetti straps can have the opposite effect)and a well -cut vest top(like the ones from top shop and gap)will work well.Toned arms can look great in halter-neck and bandeau styles,but step away from them if your sholders are on the broad side.

Flat tummy

1.Eat less wheat.The gluten in wheat soaks up water and expands in the gut,giving us a bloated feeling.Another easy way to shrink your tummy is to eat slower so you feel full faster and therfore eat less.Cut down on the booze-your stomach will deflate very quickly when you do and your waist will look narrower too.

2.Use a fake tan to shade in your stomach and give the illusion that it's smaller.To get this effect put on tour fake tan as usual but add a bit more around your waist the following day.Blend it to give the illusion of a shadow hitting the edcges of your stomach-like a fake tan belt.

3.Firm up your abs with a bicycle crunch.Lie with your knees bent and your fingertips behind your head.Pull your tummy in and lift your feet off the floor.Exhale,extending your left leg and bringing your right knee towards your left elbow.Inhale.Repeat on the opposite side.Do 20 to 30 reps daily.

4.Lose a few inches-even if it's only temporarily-and firm up with a mud wrap-like The Sanctuary Trim&Tone Body Wrap £24.46 at boots

Now your ready to hit the beach just remember sunscreen.
